[interest check] Stacked windows

Opened this issue · 3 comments

I have implemented a feature to have SplitV groups where the non-focused windows get "minimized" to about 2 lines of text. I have had this setup in bspwm for years and love it. A video is probably easier to user for showing what I mean

Would you be interested in me adding this feature, probably as a new group mode like StackedV? Otherwise I'll just keep this feature in my own fork

I wouldn't mind the feature, though I would prefer it to be implemented as a flag in Hy3GroupData instead of a new layout type. If implemented that way it would work for both SplitH and SplitV layouts. My own answer to a similar problem was the Tabbed layout, which also might work for you. If you want to implement it, the implementation should probably go in recalcSizePosRecursive.

Any updates on this?

Sorry no. I haven't had the need to upstream this, but perhaps I should. If you're feeling adventurous, feel free to use my fork
